This is an engaging and fully resourced REVISION lesson which uses a range of exam questions, understanding checks, quick differentiated tasks and quiz competitions to enable students to assess their understanding of the content within topic 4 (Atomic structure) of the AQA GCSE Physics (8463) specification.
The specification points that are covered in this revision lesson include:
- Students should know that atoms are very small, having a radius of about 1 × 10-10 metres.
- Students should know that the basic structure of an atom is a positively charged nucleus composed of both protons and neutrons surrounded by negatively charged electrons
- Students should be able to use the atomic number and mass number and understand how these differ in isotopes
- Students should know the key stages in the development of the model of the atom and the main pieces of evidence that were found
- Students should know that some atomic nuclei are unstable and that the nucleus gives out radiation as it changes to become more stable.
- Students should know the penetrating and ionising power and range in air of the alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays
- Students should be able to represent decay with equations and be able to describe the effect on the atomic and mass number
- Students should be able to determine the half-life of a radioactive isotope from given information.
- Students should be able to describe nuclear fission and fusion
The students will thoroughly enjoy the range of activities, which include quiz competitions such as “It’s as easy as ABG” where they have to compete to be the 1st to work out the word formed from the letters of the different types of radiation whilst all the time evaluating and assessing which areas of this topic will need their further attention. This lesson can be used as revision resource at the end of the topic or in the lead up to mocks or the actual GCSE exams
